Northern Health’s’ school exposure contact tracing is determined through how the individual was infected, and who they were in close contact with.

Close contacts are determined by Public Health by working closely with the school and school district.

Though once the contacts are identified, they are notified and are advised to self isolate and monitor their symptoms for 14 days.

To date, 23 local School District 57 and three private institutions in Prince George have been warned for a Covid-19 exposure event.
